I would not recommend removing NS 4.x as yet especially since they
are able to coexist side-by-side. I would wait at least until Moz 1.
There may be 0.9.3 or more releases before Moz 1. You may also
wish to wait for Netscape 6 to come out of beta and give it a try.
There are also many older and nonconforming sites which you may
come across and you may wish to view them with NS 4.x. I think that
using Mozilla solely is admirable, but probably unrealistic and risky
for the next few years. On the side of caution, I would retain NS 4.x
as a backup until you are really certain that you don't need it any
more.
Mozilla did not automatically copy everything for me, but then I have
a lot of folders and lots of junk in them. (A hidden *feature* for
automatic housecleaning? :o)
